Chapter 28

027. The Ghost Incident in the Dormitory (3)

Magic is moved by strong will.

And a magician with a strong will can control the surrounding magic.

Then, how much suffering was needed for the freshmen, who were so weak, to control the magic and achieve their will?

Although he doesn't want to give up, Jefrin is ultimately an institution for cultivating the best talents, and someone is bound to drop out.

That weak and tender heart, when gathered, dominated the atmospheric magic and became a single wish.

‘I want to graduate.’

‘I want to attend school.’

‘I don't want to give up.’

The lingering thoughts of those who had already dropped out. I felt so many emotions while performing Act 1.

A friend who was assigned to the same dormitory room dropped out, but Kelthers swore to hold a sword and advance towards the future.

Ive, who raised the banner of rebellion against the former student council president's tyranny and became the new president, realized that the first case she had to handle was a ghost incident that materialized the fears of the freshmen, and felt powerless.

The mere Status 15 Kelthers, with his strong heart, accomplished what the Status 22 Ive couldn't, and as a result, Ive realized that Status isn't everything and grew a bit more.

That touching story of 1-1...

[Degree... Degree certificate... Graduation... I'm a freshman...]

Unfortunately, a graduate student who was loitering near the freshmen dormitory resonated with that magic, turning it into something truly terrifying.

“Damn it.”

The freshmen's frustration had long disappeared, and the magic was now entirely consumed by the graduate student's hatred and anger, wandering the hall.

“'...Can the sorrow of the early-dismissed trainees even match the weeping of the deputy sergeant who hammered in the stakes...?' That kind of feeling, huh.”

I nodded, looking at the black magic surrounding the unconscious Zolf, who was wandering around.

The sorrow and hatred of the freshmen, no matter how layered, were just the frustrations of freshmen, but now it had become a completely different monster. I don't want to deal with it.

“If I had something like this in Act 1, I would have quit the game.”

***

But even though I said that, this is reality, not a game where I can just say, 'The game is bugged, I'm quitting. Developers, you should quit too and go home.' and leave.

In the end, Nephthys and Ive will have to face that graduate student. A spirit, or rather a possessed body, that just keeps shouting about graduation and theses. Whatever it is, it has a great visual with a frail scholar-like body and a face obscured by writhing black magic, and black tentacles-like magic squirming behind it.

A black, terrifying, and grotesque creature.

I'm worried about how Nephthys and Ive will deal with it, but since they are the Guardian Knight and the Light Student Council President, they'll manage somehow.

By the way, I've decided on my course of action.

With only 2 HP, I'll just watch!

Fight!

While I was mentally cheering for Nephthys and Ive's victory, the main characters started to appear one by one.

Footsteps coming down the stairs.

The spirit... no, the graduate student's spirit in the hall.

[What, what is that?]

[...Damn. That must be the real identity of the ghost. Nephthys! Prepare for battle. We must protect the Academy here!]

Oh.

Ive's line about protecting the Academy is something she always says before boss battles in her route. That's why her nickname was 'The Reliable One who Always Protects the Academy.' I'm hearing it live.

[Graduation... Graduation!!]

And so.

The spirit howled, and the battle began.

***

“...Graduation!!”

Five terrifying dark tendrils flew towards them.

Nephthys immediately understood what she needed to do and stood in front of Ive, faster than the black tendrils.

“I'll block it! [Guarding Barrier: Circular Response]”

“No, you don't need to.”

“Huh?”

Ive von Loewen格林的魔法颜色是光。

光魔法有很多特性。对魔族强大，容易变化，但战斗中光魔法的两个主要特点是：

首先，咏唱速度快。

其次，范围广。

[光之咏唱：连发：应对射击]

只需弹一下手指，就能比艾拉·特里斯塔更快地发动魔法。

轰！轰！轰！轰！轰！

“这是我第一次见到。真不知道我是否有必要。”

准确五次。光与黑暗的分支相撞，奈芙蒂斯咂了咂舌。

[光之咏唱：单发：穿透强化]

伊芙再次弹了一下手指，一柄充满力量的光之长矛在她背后生成，并在黑色物体反应之前射出。

反应是在射出之后。尽管尽了最大努力试图阻挡光之长矛，但还是力不从心。

咔嚓。咔嚓。咔嚓咔嚓。

光之长矛粉碎了层层叠加的黑色魔法，毫不停歇地向前推进。

就像伊芙·冯·罗恩格林的行事风格一样。摧毁邪恶之物时，她连一丝犹豫都没有。

黑色的身影剧烈摇晃，遮住脸部的黑暗崩塌了。

“那，那那那！”

尽管痛苦地哀嚎，但伊芙没有一丝同情，为了确认身影的身份，她向前走去。

“先看看这个擅自闯入公共宿舍的厚颜无耻的面孔。你是谁？”

在崩塌的黑暗中，出现了一张人类的脸。

虽然憔悴不堪，眼底布满黑斑，但看起来既温顺，又善良，又可怜。

伊芙认识这张脸。

虽然没有经常交谈，但她是常来研究生楼的人。

在格蕾丝手下攻读博士学位的九年级研究生。超长生。

学院中最可怜的人物之一。

彻彻硕士，正是他。

“彻夫，学长...?!”

“啊啊啊啊啊啊！！哇啊啊啊啊啊！！”

伊芙在惊慌中，被黑暗再次袭击，遭受了突袭。

“伊芙大人！[守护屏障：舍身保护]！”

“啊啊啊？！”

***

“...嗯，怎么办呢。”

我在后面静静地观战。

伊芙确认了彻夫的身份，短暂犹豫后，被彻夫突袭。

尽管伊芙的魔力值很高，但她毕竟只有十六岁，实战经验也有限。

“我以为不是一年级的怨灵，可以干净利落地解决。二年级就是二年级啊。如果这是考证的话，那就是考证了。”

在原作D/Z SAGA中，凯尔特斯遇到的学生各有特点。

年级越高，战斗AI越好。

一年级的凯尔特斯鲁莽，二年级的伊芙勇猛，三年级的艾拉无懈可击，奈芙蒂斯坚如磐石，鲁迪卡则是专家。

所以，伊芙在认出彻夫后，短暂的惊慌让她遭受了突袭，奈芙蒂斯虽然用舍身保护挡住了，但还是稍微晚了一点，没能完全防御。

你看，现在她还在拼命地砍断那些黑暗。

咔嚓。

[...啊啊。长剑断了。啊啊。应该准备一把更贵的长剑。可恶。[铁拳守护：强化]！]

...不。

刚才奈芙蒂斯的长剑发出咔嚓的声音，断成了两半，现在她站在伊芙面前保护她，看起来很吃力。守护屏障和铁拳守护的防御力差距很大。

“这真是个难题。”

我该出手吗？

但出手又能怎么样？挡两秒然后壮烈牺牲？

在我短暂犹豫的瞬间。

[...就到这里吧！]

红发少年的咆哮响彻整个大厅。

这声音。

怎么可能忘记。

光之英雄。杰夫林历史上最伟大的剑。

“...凯尔特斯？”

这是主角第一次出现在我面前的时刻。

***

红发少年凯尔特斯。

总是笑着给予周围人勇气的真正英雄。

在一年级中似乎有点被冷落，因为被艾拉狠狠打败过，而且伊芙这个女主角中的女主角也没怎么关注他，所以很可怜，但无论如何，现在我终于能亲眼见到这位光之英雄了。

腰间挂着长剑，用充满希望的眼睛注视着敌人。

剑下没有犹豫的核圈内人。组队时几乎不会拒绝的圈内大师。

然而，他现在却站在奈芙蒂斯面前，单手持剑，面对着充满仇恨和愤怒的研究生。

“不想看到的场面啊。”

差距太明显了，彻夫不仅可怜，甚至让人落泪。

[...库尔皮斯学妹。退后！]

[...我是凯尔特斯。学长。总之这里由我来挡，快带学生会长大人撤退！]

“真是英雄般的姿态。光之英雄。凯尔特斯。”

如果光之勇者能解决这个研究生并觉醒，对我来说也没什么不好。

对，快解决它。干掉它！

[来吧，怪物！我以新生首席凯尔特斯的名誉发誓，一定要阻止你！]

[...新生首席？]

[是的。无论你是谁，我都要以我们年级的名誉发誓，一定要保护好这里。]

[...你，你。]

[...什么？]

[...该死的新生啊啊啊啊啊啊！！竟敢！竟敢！！名单上的墨迹还没干！！]

[啊，啊啊啊？！]

紧接着，我看到研究生的黑色气流化为巨大的拳头，狠狠地打向凯尔特斯。

随后，自信满满地站在奈芙蒂斯面前保护她的凯尔特斯，立刻变成了伊芙2.0，直接昏倒了。

当然，奈芙蒂斯的负担更大了。

[真是的。这位学弟到底在搞什么啊？！啊啊。啊啊啊！[铁拳守护：强化：范围扩大]！]

“这个不足为外人道的家伙，现在是在研究生面前炫耀自己的新生身份吗？”

我抓着头痛的脑袋，深深地叹了口气。

这真的，无可奈何。

沃尔夫拉姆·冯·罗恩格林。虽然决定为了自己而活，但在该出手的时候还是要出手。

即使两秒后会死，也要以免费的甜甜圈为借口，无论如何也要乞求保住性命...伊芙醒来后，22魔力值的伊芙会用光之长矛解决的。

腿在颤抖，拳头在出汗，但...还是。

吱呀。

我毫不犹豫地打开清场室的门，走向他。

“彻夫”

“嗯？”

“沃尔夫拉姆大人？！”

“奈芙蒂斯。解释等会再说。彻夫。你还记得我吗？”

现在解释，万一被彻夫注意到然后一击致命，飞到便利店前，那就麻烦了。

“彻夫。回答我。”

“谁...啊，嗯？沃尔夫拉姆大人？”

“对。我是每天凌晨来，和你一起喝鱼汤，聊生活，互相鼓励，分享甜甜圈的沃尔夫拉姆·冯·罗恩格林。”

所以，你不会先动手吧？不能先动手？我们握手约定，彼此都不做这种坏事。违反的话，手就会飞掉。

“...啊，啊啊。啊啊啊...沃尔夫拉姆大人。我，我是啊。嗯嗯。”

“对。我是沃尔夫拉姆。”

还好。彻夫似乎没有立刻攻击我的打算。

现在，该进行怎样的对话。

眼前的这个BOSS，该如何交涉？

就在思考的瞬间。

眼前浮现出一个消息框。

【皇室血统】技能发动。

在【与敌人的交涉】中占据优势。

比较【对方和自己的血统】。

【沃尔夫拉姆·冯·罗恩格林】的血统远高于对方！

【所有交涉都将产生积极效果！】

哦。

说起来，

我还有这样的技能。
